    The knowledge of our couch of finely-honed scientific minds didn't pop out of the ground fully-formed - it had to be planted, tended, and grown lovingly over a long period of time to flower into the beautiful curiosity tree it is today. But like so much of life, it started as just a tiny, humble seed - which is super convenient for the topic of this episode!

    Just had to say, the walnut shell is not the fruit. The fruit is the fleshy part that rots away, and stinks. Same goes for hackberries. Their thin rind is the fruit (tastes like honey orange), covering the seed, which is comprised of the protective layer, surrounding the nascent plant inside. Only trees related variously like these, and oaks, have this kind of set-up. The "fleshy" part of the acorn is the cap, which dries off and falls away, leaving the protective shell, surrounding the tender inside. Oh, btw, one can eat the hackberry and sugarberry rinds, as well as acorn insides, if prepared properly. Anyway, just off on a tangent.

    There are cat boxes that have trays, which normally collect urine on a paper absorber but take that out and it will just collect in the tray under the cat without the absorbing material.

    When I was a Boy Scout, I was told by Scout Masters to not pee directly on trees because deer would peel off the bark to try and get at the salt in the pee. Not sure how accurate that was, but the human pee NOT protecting seeds reminded me of that.

  • @lisanorwoodtreefarm
    @lisanorwoodtreefarm 23 дня назад

    I want to know about seeds for assisted migration of trees (ie: getting seeds from southern members of a species population to germinate and plant further north or further up hill than they could naturally travel, to plant trees that are better adapted to changing climate conditions). Specifically, which trees are so programed for dormancy by day length that assisted migration wouldn't help, and which trees rely more on temp cues and should be migrated for planting?

    Here’s my weekly comment to tell you and scishow team about how ALL Keokuk geodes are fossils . Also a new study found 15 minerals in ONE GEODE. I hope one of you reads the comments this week. I also finally found copies of the book Keokuk fossils and the species biopella. Which is like from the 1800s and they made the discovery and knew they were all fossils. But they didn’t know what the fossils were so they kept calling them sponges but if you literally just read the descriptions, they’re just describing horn coral and crinoids and braciopods. Like literally these are the geodes from the geode capital of the world. Definitely the geode capital of the United States and every single one is a fossil and people are just smashing them open having no idea and I swear to God I know from living there it’s some weird gatekeeping thing, maybe because of fossil regulations but for real like can someone please talk to me about this or someone in the comments who cares? Rant over see you next week!

    I wouldn’t think the way the seeds are spread with the I-bots will not be easy to harvest because they will not be in a row like common mechanical seeding. Not as useful as one would think unless humans harvest.

    • @derAtze
      @derAtze 12 дней назад

      It's not always about harvesting when cultivating seeds. The benefit of these bots is, that you can just throw a bunch of them out of a plane and the germination rate is much much higher than just throwing them out as seeds. This helps with reforestation in areas where you can't really go by foot or are just very remote.
      Of course youll always get better results when you plant in rows by hand, but that's not the usecase for these bots
